The chart, fact by fact

Planets

What’s this?Close

The ten bodies astrology reads: the Sun, the Moon and eight planets. The planet says which part of a person it speaks for, the sign says how that part behaves, and the house says where in life it shows.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Aquarius, Chiron and Lilith
What’s this?Close

Points read beside the planets. The rising sign, or Ascendant, is the sign coming up over the eastern horizon at the minute of birth: the first impression. The Midheaven is the highest point of the sky: career and public life. The North Node is where the Moon’s path crosses the Sun’s: the direction a life grows in. Chiron, a small body between Saturn and Uranus, is a lifelong sore spot and the gift it leaves for others. Black Moon Lilith, where the Moon’s orbit swings farthest from Earth, is what a person keeps untamed.

  • North Node in Aquarius

    The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.

    14°11′

  • Chiron in Aries

    In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.

    12°44′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Libra

    In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.

    11°07′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium, Grand trine
What’s this?Close

When several aspects lock into one shape, such as a triangle or a cross, the planets in it act together, and the shape says how: easily, under strain, or with one planet as the focus.

Stellium

Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.

In his chart, his identity, his heart and his intensity (the Sun, Venus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Grand trine

Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.

In his chart, his drive, his discipline and his independence (Mars in Aquarius, Saturn in Gemini and Uranus in Libra) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.

Aspects by strength15 between the planets, the closest first
What’s this?Close

An aspect is a set angle between two bodies in the sky at birth. Some angles flow, some rub, and some fuse two bodies into one. The number is how far the angle is from exact: the smaller it is, the stronger the link.

Only the aspects that held from the first minute of the day to the last are shown; each figure is for noon.

  • Mars trine Uranus almost exact at 0.2°

    Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

  • Jupiter sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.6°

    Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.

  • Jupiter conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.9°

    A dreamer’s faith: he believes in something larger, and his compassion and his hopes go together.

  • The Sun quincunx North Node close at 1.0°

    The way forward asks him to bend habits that feel like part of who he is.

  • Mercury square Jupiter close at 1.5°

    Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.5°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • Uranus trine North Node close at 2.0°

  • Mars conjunction North Node close at 2.3°

    Driven towards his path: he goes after the life he wants with real force.

  • Mercury square Neptune close at 2.4°

    Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.

  • The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 3.2°

    Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.

  • The Sun quincunx Mars wide at 3.2°

    Aim and action run at different speeds, and he spends real effort keeping them in step.

  • Mars trine Saturn wide at 5.5°

    His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.

  • Saturn trine Uranus wide at 5.7°

    Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.

  • Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 5.9°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.

  • Jupiter opposition Saturn wide at 6.8°

    Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
